Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Seated Shakyamuni Buddha with Vairocana and Jambhala. Shrine interior, Udayagiri Buddhist Monastery.
This sculptural group symbolizes the Mahayana Buddhist trikaya doctrine. In the center is Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, seated in his characteristic gesture of bhumisparsha. At photo left is Vairocana, identifiable by his finger-in-fist gesture, and at photo right is Jambhala, a Buddhist form of Kubera. In the trikaya system of Mahayana Buddhism, the Universal or Transcendent Buddha has three aspects ("Bodies," or kaya). Vairocana represents the Buddhist teachings ("Law Body," or dharmakaya). Shakyamuni represents the Buddha as a historical person ("Form Body," or nirmanakaya). The third aspect is enlightenment ("Bliss Body," or sambhogakaya), as represented here by Jambhala. |
